Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their personal computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of IT security support consultants can assist you to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the targeted device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports one-tap identity verification with iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized as this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
