Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home employees typically use their own computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions consultants can assist you to plan, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage different permissions to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by remote workers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
