Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
