Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their own devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability 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 leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions consultants can help you to design, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several verification devices.
