Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal computing devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security solutions consultants can assist you to plan, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used as this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
