Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support experts can assist your business to design, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software 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, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
