Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their personal computers and usually operate in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the infected endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint security monitoring for remote workers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second means of authentication including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, visit Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for an at-home workforce.
