Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their personal computers and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security support consultants can help your business to design, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall support services, see firewall configuration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices. To find out more about Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
