Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home employees commonly use their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security support experts can help your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration services, see firewall integration and support services.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
