Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions consultants can assist you to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
