Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their own computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support experts can help your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.
