Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security solutions experts can help your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital information assets in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by at-home workers, mobile employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring Services for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices used by an at-home workforce and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TelecommutersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. To learn more about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
