Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home workers commonly use their personal computers and often work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support experts can help you to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
