Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to carry out the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected devices and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Our System Has Been Attacked: What Should We Do Now?
In case your business is currently fighting a network security crisis other than ransomware, visit Progent's Urgent Online Technical Support to find out how to receive fast assistance. Progent maintains a pool of certified network security specialists who offer remote and onsite assistance that includes threat containment, mitigation, restoration, forensics, and enhancement of your security profile to protect against future attacks.

For organizations who have planned carefully for an attack, the step-by-step incident response model promoted by GIAC is Progent's recommended method of handling a major security incident.

Overview of Security Expertise
Coordinating network security and preparation for recovering critical information and functions after a security breach requires an on-going effort involving an array of tools and processes. Progent's certified consultants can assist your business at any level in your attempt to guard your information network, ranging from security audits to creating a complete security strategy. Some areas covered by Progent's experts include Planning and Implementation, Data Restoration and Security Forensics, and Outsourced Protection from E-mail-Based Spam and Viruses.

Planning and Implementing Protected Environments
Every business should have a thoroughly considered security strategy that incorporates both preventive and responsive steps. The pre-attack strategy is a set of steps that works to minimize vulnerabilities. The post-attack plan specifies procedures to assist IT personnel to inventory the losses resulting from a breach, repair the damage, document the event, and restore business activity as quickly as feasible. Progent can advise you how to design security into your business processes. Progent can configure scanning utilities, create and implement a safe IT infrastructure, and propose procedures and policies that will maximize the safety of your information system. Progent's security professionals are ready to help you to set up a firewall, design protected remote connectivity to e-mail and data, and configure an effective virtual private network (VPN).
