Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their own devices and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity solutions experts can help you to design, implement and manage an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several verification devices.
