Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own computers and often work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions consultants can help your business to plan, deploy and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring Services for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers used by remote workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices.
