Security for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members commonly utilize their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions consultants can assist your business to design, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that include remote workers.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
