Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions experts can help your business to design, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects critical information resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
