Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that protects critical IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all types of outside and local security attacks for an environment that incorporates teleworkers.
