Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a quick and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage inside a target's network, the more time it will require to restore core operations and scrambled 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 take the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Our Network Has Been Attacked: What Do We Do Now?
In case your business is currently faced with a security crisis other than ransomware, refer to Progent's Urgent Remote Network Help to find out how to get immediate aid. Progent has a team of veteran cybersecurity experts who can provide online and onsite support that includes containment, mitigation, recovery, forensics, and enhancement of your cybersecurity defense to protect against future attacks.

Introduction to Security Services
Coordinating data protection and planning for restoring critical information and functions following an attack demands a continual process involving a variety of technologies and procedures.

Important technologies covered by Progent's security engineers include Security Planning and Implementation, Information Recovery and Security Failure Analysis, and Managed Protection from E-mail-Based Attacks.

Planning and Building Protected Environments
Any business should have a thoroughly thought out security strategy that incorporates both proactive and responsive elements.

The reactive strategy specifies activities to assist IT personnel to inventory the losses resulting from an attack, repair the damage, document the event, and restore business functions as soon as feasible. Progent can show you how to design protection into your business operations. Progent can install auditing utilities, create and build a safe IT infrastructure, and recommend processes and policies that will maximize the protection of your information system. Progent's security experts are ready to assist you to configure a firewall, deploy safe online and mobile access to e-mail and information, and configure an efficient VPN.
