Security for Teleworkers
At-home staff members typically use their personal computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support experts can assist your business to design, implement and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical information resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.
