Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their own computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist you to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information assets in networks that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, see firewall support services.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. To learn more about Duo identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.

Security Audit Services for At-Home WorkersSecurity Audits can evaluate the exposure of your network to all classes of outside and internal security attacks for an environment that incorporates at-home workers. Progent can deploy online, automated security analysis software for rapidly and affordably detecting a wide variety of security holes that can be surfaced over the Internet.
