Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their own computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control different permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both new and older security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by remote workers and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized for this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
