Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a penetration and are less able to organize a quick and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can make within a victim's system, the longer it takes to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help organizations to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Introduction to Progent's Security Expertise
Managing data protection as well as planning for recovering vital information and systems after an attack demands a continual process involving a variety of technologies and procedures.

Some areas supported by Progent's security consultants include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Recovery and Security Failure Analysis, and Outsourced Protection from E-mail-Borne Attacks.

Planning and Implementing Protected Environments
Every business should have a carefully thought out security plan that includes both proactive and responsive steps. The pre-attack strategy is a collection of precautions that helps to minimize vulnerabilities. The reactive plan specifies activities to assist security staff to assess the damage caused by an attack, remediate the damage, document the experience, and revive network functions as soon as possible. Progent can show you how to design protection into your business operations. Progent can configure auditing utilities, define and implement a secure IT infrastructure, and propose processes and policies to optimize the safety of your information system. Progent's security experts are available to help you to configure a firewall, deploy protected remote access to email and information, and install an efficient virtual private network.

Progent can help determine the losses caused by the attack, restore ordinary functions, and retrieve information compromised owing to the event. Progent's certified engineers can also oversee a comprehensive forensic analysis by going over activity logs and using a variety of advanced assessment tools. Progent's experience with security issues minimizes your off-air time and permits Progent to suggest effective measures to avoid or mitigate future assaults.

Work-from-Home (WFH) Cybersecurity Expertise
Work-from-Home employees commonly use their own computing devices and often work in a unsecured physical space.
