Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home employees typically use their personal computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support consultants can help you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital information assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices utilized by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
