Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their own computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions consultants can assist you to design, deploy and manage an effective security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
