Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly use their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support experts can assist your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat.
