Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly utilize their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions experts can help you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all classes of external and internal security attacks for an environment that incorporates an at-home workforce. Progent can run remote, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for rapidly and economically detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be found via the Internet.
