Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home staff members typically utilize their own computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support experts can help your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit 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 added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. To find out more about Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
Security Audits can assess the exposure of your network to all types of external and local security attacks for a network that includes remote workers. Progent can run remote, automated security inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced over the Internet.
