Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically use their own computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support consultants can assist you to plan, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted device from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. To learn more about Duo identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
