Security for Remote Workers
At-home workers commonly run their own computing devices and work in an unsecured environment. This worsens their exposure to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, remote monitoring, and the enforcement of policies that follow leading practices. Progent's veteran team of certified cybersecurity professionals can help your company to plan, deploy and administer a modern security solution that protects sensitive data in IT networks that incorporate remote workers.
- Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. To find out more about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, go to firewall integration and support services.
- Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
- Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all classes of outside and internal security attacks for an environment that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy online, automated cybersecurity inventory software for rapidly and affordably uncovering a wide variety of security gaps that can be found over the Internet. Progent's security assessment consulting services, which can be managed by data security professionals with top certifications such as CISM, ISSAP, and GIAC, can help your business to audit your procedures and governance policies and review your network infrastructure to enable you to design the highest level of security for your remote workers.
