Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions experts can help you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital IT assets in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on 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 unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of external and internal security threats for an environment that incorporates teleworkers. Progent can run remote, automated security inventory scanning for quickly and affordably uncovering a broad range of security holes that can be surfaced via the Internet. Progent's endpoint security assessment experts, which can be managed by security professionals with advanced credentials such as CISM, ISSAP, and GIAC, can help you to evaluate your procedures and governance policies and review your IT architecture to allow you to design top-level security for your teleworkers.
