Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions experts can help you to plan, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical information resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
