Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically use their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help you to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information assets in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.
