Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support consultants can help you to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that include remote workers.

Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used as this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
