Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices.

With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware.
