Security for Remote Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their personal computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist you to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all types of external and local security attacks for an environment that includes remote workers.
