Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their own computers and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support experts can assist you to design, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information resources in networks that include remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats become more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers used by remote workers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized for this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
