Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically utilize their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of cybersecurity support experts can assist you to design, implement and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your company evolves and as cyber threats grow more complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second means of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
