Security and Compliance for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their own computers and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity solutions experts can assist your business to plan, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.

Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is put on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint from the corporate network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
