Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home employees commonly utilize their own devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical information assets in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
