Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically use their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support experts can help your business to design, configure and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by remote workers and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
