Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to plan, implement and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by remote workers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
