Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members typically use their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions consultants can assist your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital IT assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
