Remote Security Monitoring Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by teleworkers and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
