Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home employees commonly utilize their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions experts can assist you to plan, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
