Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly use their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical IT assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.

Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices.

A broad range of devices can be used as this added form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
