Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
