Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital IT assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and control different permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall integration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.

Remote Security Monitoring for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by remote workers and either block or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of devices can be used as this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
