Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can assist you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall support expertise, see firewall configuration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
