Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support experts can assist you to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this second means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity validation services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
