Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their own devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions consultants can help you to design, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall devices from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
