Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly use their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support consultants can assist you to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
