Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a victim's system, the longer it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to carry out the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Our Network Has Been Hacked: What Do We Do Now?
If your network is now faced with a security crisis other than ransomware, go to Progent's Emergency Online Network Support to see how to get immediate aid. Progent has a team of veteran cybersecurity experts who can provide remote and onsite assistance that includes containment, mitigation, restoration, forensics, and hardening of your cybersecurity posture to protect against future exploits.

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

Introduction to Security Support Services
Managing network protection plus preparedness for restoring vital information and systems following an attack requires an on-going process involving an array of technologies and processes. Progent's certified experts can assist your organization at any level in your efforts to secure your information network, from security evaluation to creating a complete security program. Some areas supported by Progent's experts include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Restoration and Security Failure Analysis, and Outsourced Filtering of E-mail-Borne Threats.

Designing and Building Secure Networks
Every company should develop a thoroughly considered security plan that includes both proactive and responsive steps. The proactive strategy is a collection of steps that works to minimize vulnerabilities. The post-attack strategy defines procedures to assist IT personnel to assess the losses caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the event, and restore network functions as soon as feasible. Progent can show you how to build protection into your business operations. Progent can set up scanning utilities, define and implement a safe computer infrastructure, and recommend procedures and policies to enhance the safety of your information system. Progent's security experts are available to help you to set up a firewall, deploy safe remote access to e-mail and information, and configure an efficient virtual private network (VPN).

If your company is interested in an economical option for jobbing out your network security management, Progent's Round-the-clock Monitoring Services feature continual online server monitoring and immediate resolution of problems.
