Firewalls enable companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

A wide selection of devices can be used for this added form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices.
