Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home employees typically use their own computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support experts can help your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted device from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices.

A broad range of devices can be used as this added means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.
