Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home workers typically use their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security solutions consultants can help you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration expertise, refer to firewall support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.

Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your information system to all types of external and local security threats for a network that includes teleworkers. Progent can run online, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced over the Internet. Progent's security assessment experts, which can be provided by security experts with top certifications such as CISM, ISSAP, and GIAC, can assist your company to evaluate your processes and governance policies and review your network architecture to enable you to implement top-level protection for your at-home workers.
