Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their personal computers and often work in an unsecured physical area.

When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet.
