Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own computers and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security support experts can assist you to design, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the infected device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices.
