Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically use their own computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall support services, refer to firewall integration and support services.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
