Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members typically use their personal computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical information assets in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall configuration and support services.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
