Security for Remote Workers
At-home employees typically use their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support consultants can help you to plan, configure and manage an effective security solution that guards vital IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by remote workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
