Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to carry out the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

Some areas supported by Progent's security engineers include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Recovery and Security Forensics, and Managed Protection from Email-Borne Attacks.

Designing and Building Protected Environments
Any business should develop a thoroughly thought out security strategy that incorporates both proactive and responsive steps.

Progent can advise you how to build security into your company operations. Progent can install scanning software, create and build a safe IT infrastructure, and recommend processes and policies that will optimize the protection of your network.
