Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex.

With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.
