Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
