Security for Teleworkers
At-home staff members typically utilize their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.

A wide range of devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
