Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their own computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist you to design, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your information system to all types of outside and internal security attacks for a network that includes at-home workers. Progent can deploy remote, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a wide variety of security gaps that can be found over the Internet.
