Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
