Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly use their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support experts can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and control different access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
