Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the development of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity support experts can help you to plan, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.
