Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support experts can assist you to design, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices. For more information about Duo identity validation services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for at-home workers.
