Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions consultants can assist you to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify who you are on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
