Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their personal devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, configure and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
