Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home workers typically use their personal devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security support consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include remote workers.

Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by telecommuters and either block or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo authentication services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of external and local security threats for an environment that incorporates an at-home workforce. Progent can deploy remote, automated cybersecurity analysis software for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security weaknesses that can be found over the Internet. Progent's endpoint security assessment experts, which can be managed by network security professionals with advanced credentials including CISM, ISSAP, and GIAC, can assist you to audit your procedures and governance policies and assess your WAN infrastructure to allow you to implement top-level security for your remote workers.
