Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home employees typically use their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support consultants can assist you to design, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information resources in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
