Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their own computers and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions experts can help you to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical information resources in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
