Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically use their own computers and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help you to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security devices from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
