Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their personal devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for teleworkers.
Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of outside and internal security attacks for an environment that incorporates telecommuters.
