Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support experts can assist you to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA).

A broad selection of devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
