Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their own computers and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to design, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that protects critical information assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this added means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
