Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their own devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of data security support consultants can help your business to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that guards critical IT assets in networks that include an at-home workforce.

Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be safely accessed by local users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several validation devices.
