Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices.

A broad range of devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several verification devices.
