Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions experts can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices used by remote workers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via 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 added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
