Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home employees commonly utilize their personal devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include remote workers.

Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by telecommuters and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
