Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
At-home workers typically use their personal computers and often work in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security support consultants can assist your business to plan, deploy and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy firewall appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices.
