Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions consultants can assist you to plan, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
Security Audits can assess the exposure of your network to all classes of external and local security threats for a network that includes an at-home workforce.
