Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support experts can help you to design, configure and manage an effective security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. To learn more about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your network to all types of outside and internal security attacks for an environment that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy online, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for quickly and economically uncovering a broad range of security weaknesses that can be found via the Internet.
