Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions consultants can help your business to design, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and legacy security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized as this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
