Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their own computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security support experts can help your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical information assets in networks that include at-home workers.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be used as this added means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several validation devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for teleworkers.
