Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home employees typically utilize their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security solutions consultants can help you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant security solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and manage different access rights to different groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend 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. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second form of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
