Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support experts can assist you to plan, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used for this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
