Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home employees commonly use their personal devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity support experts can help your business to plan, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
