Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly use their personal computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support experts can help your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
