Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home employees commonly use their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security solutions consultants can help your business to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall support services, see firewall configuration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your network to all types of outside and internal security threats for a network that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy remote, automated security analysis scanning for quickly and economically detecting a wide variety of security gaps that can be found via the Internet. Progent's security audit experts, which can be provided by data security experts with advanced certifications including CISM, ISSAP, and GIAC, can help your business to evaluate your procedures and governance policies and assess your network infrastructure to allow you to design top-level security for your remote workers.
