Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their own devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support consultants can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices.

Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your information system to all types of outside and internal security attacks for a network that incorporates remote workers.
