Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security support consultants can help you to plan, deploy and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices.
