Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their personal devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions experts can help your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
