Security for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly use their own computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage an effective security solution that guards vital information assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control different permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall support expertise, refer to firewall integration and support expertise.
Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
