Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home employees commonly utilize their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions consultants can assist you to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage different permissions to various classes of users and to expand your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. To find out more about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
