Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user training, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information resources in environments that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage different access rights to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
