Security for Remote Workers
At-home employees typically utilize their personal computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist you to plan, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are via a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used as this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For more information about Duo identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for teleworkers.
