Security for Remote Workers
At-home employees typically utilize their own computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions experts can help your business to plan, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.
