Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home employees typically utilize their own computing devices and often operate in an unsecured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support consultants can help your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that protects vital IT assets in networks that incorporate remote workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls enable companies to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile workers, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and legacy firewall appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TeleworkersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers used by at-home workers and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks before they can spread. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately disconnects the impacted device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft by using two-factor authentication.

A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
