Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home employees commonly use their own devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support experts can assist your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple validation devices.
