Security for Teleworkers
At-home workers commonly use their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital IT resources in environments that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall integration and support expertise.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of 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 online account and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices. To find out more about Duo identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
