Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
