Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically use their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity support experts can assist your business to plan, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information resources in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted 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 disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
