Security for Telecommuters
At-home workers commonly use their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran group of data security support experts can help your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective security solution that guards critical IT resources in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and older firewall appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various devices utilized by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and respond to the latest threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
