Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
At-home employees typically use their own computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of data security support consultants can help you to design, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital information assets in environments that incorporate telecommuters.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring and Management Services for TelecommutersOnline Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to track the various computers used by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate the latest threats such as ransomware.
