Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
