Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically use their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions experts can help you to design, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
