Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members typically use their own computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support experts can help your business to plan, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this added means of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
