Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices. For more information about Duo identity validation services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
