Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can assist your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
