Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions consultants can assist you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical information assets in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted device from the 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, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
