Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members typically use their own computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions experts can help you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices used by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For details about Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
