Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their personal devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions experts can help you to design, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include remote workers.

Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control different access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of authentication including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
