Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
