Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members typically use their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, go to firewall configuration and support services.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices used by teleworkers and either block or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.

Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your network to all classes of external and local security attacks for an environment that includes telecommuters. Progent can run remote, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be found over the Internet. Progent's security assessment experts, which can be managed by data security experts with top credentials including CISA, ISSAP, and GIAC, can help your company to evaluate your processes and policies and assess your WAN architecture to enable you to implement top-level security for your teleworkers.
