Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their own computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions consultants can help you to plan, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. To learn more about Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
