Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home workers commonly use their personal devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several validation devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for teleworkers.
