Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to manage inside a target's network, the longer it will require to restore core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to complete the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Introduction to Security Services
Coordinating data protection plus preparation for recovering vital information and functions following an attack requires an on-going effort involving a variety of technologies and processes. Progent's security engineers can help your organization at any level in your efforts to protect your information network, from security evaluation to creating a complete security strategy. Some areas supported by Progent's experts include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Recovery and Security Forensics, and Managed Filtering of Email-Based Threats.

Planning and Implementing Protected Networks
Any business should have a thoroughly considered security plan that incorporates both proactive and responsive activity. The pre-attack plan is a set of steps that works to minimize security gaps. The reactive plan defines procedures to help security personnel to evaluate the damage resulting from an attack, repair the damage, record the event, and revive network activity as soon as feasible. Progent can advise you how to build protection into your business operations. Progent can configure auditing utilities, define and build a secure computer architecture, and propose processes and policies that will optimize the protection of your network. Progent's security professionals are ready to help you to set up a firewall, deploy safe offsite connectivity to e-mail and information, and install an effective virtual private network.

A broad range of devices can be used for this second means of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices.
