Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats 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.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by remote workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain 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.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this second means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
