Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home staff members typically use their personal computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can help you to design, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that protects vital information assets in environments that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices.
