Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support consultants can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
