Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home workers typically utilize their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support experts can help your business to design, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. To learn more about Duo identity authentication services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
Security Audits can assess the exposure of your information system to all types of external and local security threats for an environment that includes remote workers. Progent can run online, automated cybersecurity inventory software for rapidly and affordably uncovering a broad range of security gaps that can be found over the Internet. Progent's endpoint security assessment consulting services, which can be provided by security professionals with advanced certifications including CISM, CISSP, and GIAC, can help your company to audit your operations and policies and assess your IT architecture to enable you to implement the highest level of security for your remote workers.
