Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their personal devices and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions experts can help you to design, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical information assets in networks that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.

A wide range of devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
