Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members commonly utilize their personal computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and requires judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support consultants can help your business to design, configure and maintain an effective security solution that guards vital information assets in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile employees, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and control different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your IT network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Using 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
