Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions consultants can help your business to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
