Security for At-Home Workers
At-home employees typically use their personal devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support experts can help your business to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall support expertise.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of external and local security attacks for an environment that includes remote workers. Progent can deploy remote, automated security inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security holes that can be found over the Internet. Progent's endpoint security assessment experts, which can be managed by security professionals with top credentials such as CISA, CISSP, and GIAC, can help you to audit your procedures and governance policies and review your IT architecture to enable you to implement top-level protection for your telecommuters.
