Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home employees typically use their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions experts can assist you to design, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different groups of users and to expand your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
