Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home staff members commonly utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage different permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
