Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers typically utilize their own computers and often work in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to design, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by local users and by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
