Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for teleworkers.
