Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security solutions consultants can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
