Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity support consultants can help your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
