Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security solutions experts can assist you to design, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy 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 various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
