Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home staff members typically use their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers utilized by remote workers and either block or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
