Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For details about Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
