Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members commonly utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support experts can help your business to plan, implement and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.

Firewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and control different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices.
