Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support experts can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.

Security Audits can assess the exposure of your information system to all types of outside and internal security threats for a network that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can run remote, automated security inventory software for quickly and economically detecting a wide variety of security weaknesses that can be surfaced over the Internet.
