Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their own devices and often work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support consultants can help you to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by at-home workers, 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 IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. To find out more about Progent's firewall configuration services, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
