Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home employees typically utilize their own devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions consultants can help you to plan, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information resources in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, go to firewall integration and support services.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
