Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members typically utilize their personal computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices.
