Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their personal devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
