Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their personal devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support consultants can help you to design, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall integration expertise, see firewall configuration and support services.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices.
