Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home staff members typically use their own computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support experts can help your business to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. To learn more about Progent's firewall integration expertise, see firewall configuration and support services.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple 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 who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your network to all classes of external and local security attacks for an environment that incorporates telecommuters.
