Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees typically use their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to design, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
