Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions experts can help you to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
