Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by at-home workers and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
