Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support experts can help you to design, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
