Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity support experts can assist you to plan, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
