Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home employees typically utilize their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions consultants can help your business to plan, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control different permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.
