Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage within a victim's network, the more time it takes 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 help organizations to take the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged 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.

Designing and Implementing Protected Networks
Every company should have a carefully considered security strategy that incorporates both preventive and responsive activity. The pre-attack strategy is a collection of precautions that helps to reduce vulnerabilities. The post-attack strategy specifies procedures to help security personnel to evaluate the damage resulting from an attack, repair the damage, record the event, and restore network functions as quickly as possible. Progent can show you how to incorporate protection into your business operations. Progent can install scanning software, define and execute a safe computer infrastructure, and propose procedures and policies to maximize the safety of your information system. Progent's security experts are available to help you to configure a firewall, design protected online and mobile access to email and data, and configure an effective virtual private network.
