Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home employees typically use their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices.
