Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security support consultants can help you to plan, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this added means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
