Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly use their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security solutions consultants can help you to plan, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring Services for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices used by teleworkers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and enter your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this added means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices. For more information about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
