Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their own computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support experts can help your business to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. To find out more about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall configuration and support services.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this added means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
