Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers typically use their personal computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and control different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
