Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their own computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist you to design, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical information assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate 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 grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.
