Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security support consultants can assist you to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by local users and by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used as this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
