Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home workers typically use their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help you to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this second means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
