Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their personal devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital information resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
