Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly utilize their personal devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to plan, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
