Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions consultants can help you to design, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital IT resources in environments that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall support expertise, refer to firewall configuration and support services.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers used by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
