Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically use their own computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security solutions consultants can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
