Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their personal computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity solutions consultants can assist you to design, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that include telecommuters.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices used by telecommuters and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, visit remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
