Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly use their personal devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support experts can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several verification devices. For more information about Duo identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
