Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their personal computers and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital IT assets in environments that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
