Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and older security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices utilized by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
