Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home workers typically use their own devices and often work in a poorly secured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security solutions experts can assist your business to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in networks that include telecommuters.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable you to create a network that can be safely utilized by local users and by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and manage appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by at-home workers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest threats like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint agent is put on every secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For details about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for Remote WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you log into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a unit that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, refer to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.
