Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically use their own computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support experts can help you to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. To find out more about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured 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 separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For more information about Duo identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your network to all types of external and internal security threats for an environment that incorporates teleworkers. Progent can run remote, automated security inventory software for rapidly and economically detecting a wide variety of security holes that can be found via the Internet. Progent's security assessment experts, which can be provided by data security professionals with top certifications such as CISA, CISSP, and GIAC, can help you to audit your procedures and policies and review your WAN architecture to allow you to implement top-level protection for your remote workers.
