Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their own computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support consultants can assist you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
