Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to create a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

A wide range of devices can be utilized for this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices.
