Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home employees commonly utilize their own computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions experts can help you to design, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
