Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, implement and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.
