Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically use their personal computers and often work in an unsecured physical area. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user training, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to plan, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects critical IT resources in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances permit you to assign and control appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more complex. Progent supports both current and older security devices from all leading vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring Services for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the disparate devices utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is put on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, visit remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification with Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register multiple validation devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
