Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members commonly use their own computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. To learn more about Progent's firewall support services, refer to firewall configuration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
