Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers commonly utilize their personal computers and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support consultants can help you to plan, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
