Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a target's system, the more time it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to carry out the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and quarantine breached devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

For organizations that have prepared in advance for an attack, the step-by-step post-attack handling model promoted by GIAC is Progent's approved method of responding to a major security attack.

Overview of Progent's Security Expertise
Managing computer protection as well as preparedness for recovering critical data and systems after an attack demands an on-going effort involving an array of tools and processes.

Key areas covered by Progent's security consultants include Planning and Prevention, Data Recovery and Security Failure Analysis, and Managed Protection from E-mail-Borne Attacks.

Designing and Building Secure Networks
Every company should develop a carefully thought out security plan that includes both preventive and reactive activity. The pre-attack plan is a set of precautions that helps to reduce vulnerabilities. The reactive strategy defines procedures to assist IT staff to assess the losses resulting from a breach, repair the damage, document the event, and restore network functions as soon as feasible. Progent can advise you how to build security into your company processes. Progent can install auditing utilities, define and execute a safe network infrastructure, and propose procedures and policies that will optimize the safety of your information system. Progent's security experts are ready to help you to configure a firewall, design safe online and mobile access to e-mail and data, and configure an effective virtual private network.
