Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their personal computers and usually work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support consultants can help you to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to create a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different access rights to different groups of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices.
