Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support experts can help your business to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that protects vital information resources in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall configuration and support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity validation services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
