Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers typically utilize their personal computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to design, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify 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 utilized as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
