Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their personal devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions experts can help your business to design, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall integration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad 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 token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
