Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home workers commonly utilize their own devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by remote workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. To learn more about Duo identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
