Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly utilize their own devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security solutions consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by at-home workers and either block or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
