Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
