Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their personal computers and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help you to plan, configure and manage an effective security solution that guards critical information assets in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall support expertise, see firewall integration and support expertise.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices. To find out more about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your network to all classes of outside and internal security threats for an environment that incorporates at-home workers.
