Security and Compliance for At-Home Workers
At-home employees commonly utilize their personal computers and often work in a poorly secured physical environment. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security support consultants can help you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information resources in environments that include at-home workers.

Remote Security Monitoring and Management for TelecommutersRemote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the impacted device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint security monitoring for telecommuters.

Two-factor Authentication Services for At-Home WorkersProgent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate several verification devices.
