Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home employees commonly utilize their own devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security support experts can assist you to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
