Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members typically utilize their personal computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support experts can help you to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of external and internal security threats for an environment that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy online, automated security inventory software for quickly and affordably uncovering a broad range of security gaps that can be found via the Internet. Progent's security audit experts, which can be provided by security professionals with top certifications including CISA, ISSAP, and GIAC, can assist you to evaluate your processes and governance policies and assess your network architecture to enable you to design the highest level of security for your teleworkers.
