Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions consultants can help your business to design, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign 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 become increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this second means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices.
