Security for At-Home Workers
At-home workers commonly utilize their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned roster of IT security support consultants can help you to plan, implement and manage an effective security solution that protects vital IT resources in environments that include at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to assign and control different access rights to various classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for At-Home WorkersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by telecommuters and either reject or identify and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on each protected endpoint device, watching all activity and using state-of-the-art AI technology from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay secure even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Two-factor Authentication (2FA) Services for TeleworkersProgent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected online account and enter your password you are requested to confirm who you are via a device that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized for this second form of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several verification devices.
