Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital information resources in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both new and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall support expertise, see firewall configuration and support services.

Remote Security Monitoring for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity 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 used for this added means of authentication such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices. For details about Duo identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for teleworkers.
