Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their own devices and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security solutions experts can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Remote Security Monitoring for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices used by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
