Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home workers typically use their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support experts can help your business to design, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall integration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the targeted device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices.
