Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their own computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security solutions consultants can help you to plan, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and control different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this second form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
