Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically use their personal devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support experts can help you to design, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by at-home workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
