Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions experts can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control different access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized for this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
