Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions consultants can assist your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in environments that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by remote workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
