Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support experts can assist you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall integration and support expertise.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put 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 ASM immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all types of external and internal security attacks for a network that includes an at-home workforce. Progent can run online, automated security analysis software for rapidly and economically detecting a wide variety of security holes that can be found over the Internet.
