Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home workers commonly use their own computers and often work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security support consultants can help your business to design, configure and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that include an at-home workforce.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices 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 company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management Services for TeleworkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either block or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint device from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints stay secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple verification devices.
