Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their own computers and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, deploy and manage an effective security solution that protects critical IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For details about Duo identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
