Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically use their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and control different access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. To learn more about Progent's firewall support services, see firewall integration and support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by at-home workers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.

Security Audits can assess the vulnerability of your network to all types of external and local security attacks for a network that includes teleworkers. Progent can deploy online, automated cybersecurity inventory software for quickly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced via the Internet. Progent's endpoint security audit consulting services, which can be managed by data security experts with advanced credentials such as CISA, ISSAP, and GIAC, can assist you to evaluate your procedures and policies and assess your WAN infrastructure to enable you to implement top-level protection for your teleworkers.
