Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their personal computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
