Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members typically utilize their own devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support experts can help you to plan, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets 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 at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
