Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to take the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and quarantine infected devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Our System Has Been Attacked: What Do We Do?
In case your network is now experiencing a network security emergency other than ransomware, go to Progent's Emergency Remote Technical Support to find out how to get immediate help.

Introduction to Progent's Security Services
Managing data security as well as planning for recovering vital information and systems following an attack demands a continual effort involving an array of tools and procedures. Progent's certified engineers can help your organization at any level in your efforts to safeguard your information system, from security audits to designing a comprehensive security program. Some areas supported by Progent's experts include Security Planning and Implementation, Data Restoration and Security Forensics, and Outsourced Protection from Email-Borne Threats.

Planning and Building Secure Environments
Any company should have a carefully considered security strategy that includes both preventive and responsive activity. The pre-attack strategy is a set of precautions that helps to minimize vulnerabilities. The reactive strategy specifies procedures to help IT personnel to evaluate the damage caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the experience, and revive business activity as quickly as feasible. Progent can advise you how to build protection into your company operations. Progent can configure auditing utilities, define and implement a safe computer architecture, and recommend procedures and policies that will optimize the safety of your computing environment. Progent's security professionals are available to help you to set up a firewall, deploy secure remote access to email and data, and install an effective virtual private network (VPN).

If your company is interested in an economical option for jobbing out your network security administration, Progent's Round-the-clock Network Support Services feature continual online system tracking and immediate resolution of problems.
