Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home workers commonly use their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity support experts can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
