Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members typically use their personal computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions consultants can help you to plan, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
