Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of IT security solutions consultants can help you to plan, implement and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital information resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
