Security for Remote Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees typically utilize their own devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in environments that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewall Integration Services for At-Home WorkersFirewalls allow companies to build a network environment that can be safely utilized by on-premises users as well as by an at-home workforce, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control appropriate permissions to various classes of users and to scale your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all major vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

A broad range of devices can be used for this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
