Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security solutions consultants can assist you to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, see firewall support services.
Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
