Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly use their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and calls for careful deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity support experts can help your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Remote Security Monitoring for At-Home WorkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate devices used by telecommuters and either block or identify and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint agent is put on each secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.
