Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
At-home workers typically use their own devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security support experts can assist your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices used by telecommuters and either block or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
