Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both new and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used as this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
