Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
Security Audits can assess the exposure of your information system to all types of external and internal security threats for an environment that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy remote, automated cybersecurity analysis software for quickly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced via the Internet. Progent's endpoint security assessment experts, which can be provided by data security experts with advanced credentials including CISA, CISSP, and GIAC, can assist your business to evaluate your workflows and governance policies and assess your WAN infrastructure to allow you to design the highest level of security for your at-home workers.
