Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support consultants can assist your business to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different permissions to various classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. To find out more about Progent's firewall support services, refer to firewall configuration and support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices used by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.

Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your information system to all classes of outside and local security attacks for an environment that includes teleworkers. Progent can run remote, automated security analysis scanning for quickly and economically uncovering a wide variety of security weaknesses that can be surfaced over the Internet.
