Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
