Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices utilized by remote workers and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
