Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security solutions experts can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application 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 means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
