Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home workers commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of security policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran group of data security solutions experts can help you to design, configure and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital IT resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized as this second form of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices.
