Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make within a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover core operations and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your system 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 Security Services
Managing computer security and preparedness for recovering vital data and functions after an attack requires an on-going effort that entails a variety of technologies and processes. Progent's certified security professionals can support your business at any level in your efforts to secure your IT network, from security evaluation to designing a complete security plan. Some areas covered by Progent's security consultants include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Restoration and Security Forensics, and Managed Protection from Email-Based Spam and Viruses.

Planning and Implementing Secure Networks
Any organization should have a carefully thought out security strategy that incorporates both preventive and responsive steps. The pre-attack strategy is a collection of steps that helps to minimize security gaps. The post-attack plan specifies procedures to assist IT personnel to assess the losses caused by an attack, remediate the damage, document the event, and restore business functions as quickly as possible. Progent can show you how to design security into your business operations. Progent can install scanning utilities, create and build a safe IT infrastructure, and propose processes and policies that will maximize the protection of your information system. Progent's security experts are ready to help you to configure a firewall, deploy protected offsite connectivity to email and information, and install an efficient virtual private network (VPN).
