Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions consultants can assist you to design, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, see firewall integration and support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
