Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this added means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.
