Security for Remote Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support experts can assist your business to plan, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by at-home workers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices.
