Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members typically utilize their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support consultants can assist you to plan, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to verify your identity on a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.
