Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly use their personal devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive user training, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers used by remote workers and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for telecommuters.
