Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their own devices and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support experts can assist your business to plan, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards vital information resources in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used for this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
