Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly use their personal computing devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to design, deploy and manage an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either block or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify new attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
