Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly utilize their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity support consultants can help you to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
