Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home workers typically use their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information resources in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats 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 agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used for this second means of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices.
