Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home employees typically use their own devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security support consultants can assist your business to design, configure and manage an effective security solution that protects critical IT assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this second form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices. To find out more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
