Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make inside a target's network, the more time it takes to recover core operations and damaged 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 urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help you to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

For organizations that have planned in advance for being hacked, the formal post-attack response procedure promoted by Global Information Assurance Certification is Progent's approved method of reacting to a serious security incident.

Overview of Security Expertise
Coordinating computer security and preparation for restoring vital information and systems after an attack requires an on-going effort involving an array of tools and procedures.

Some areas supported by Progent's security engineers include Planning and Implementation, Data Restoration and Security Failure Analysis, and Outsourced Filtering of Email-Borne Threats.

Designing and Building Secure Environments
Every organization should have a carefully thought out security strategy that incorporates both proactive and reactive elements. The proactive plan is a set of steps that works to minimize vulnerabilities. The post-attack strategy specifies activities to assist IT staff to evaluate the damage resulting from an attack, remediate the damage, record the event, and restore network functions as soon as possible. Progent can show you how to design security into your company operations. Progent can set up auditing software, create and execute a safe IT infrastructure, and recommend processes and policies that will maximize the protection of your network. Progent's security professionals are ready to help you to set up a firewall, deploy secure offsite access to e-mail and data, and install an effective virtual private network (VPN).
