Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly use their own computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security support consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical information assets in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable you to create a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration expertise, see firewall configuration and support services.
Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For details about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
