Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a victim's system, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.

We've Been Hacked: What Do We Do Now?
If you are currently faced with a security crisis other than ransomware, refer to Progent's Emergency Online Computer Help to see how to get immediate assistance. Progent has a pool of certified cybersecurity specialists who offer remote and onsite assistance that includes containment, mitigation, recovery, forensics, and hardening of your security defense to protect against future attacks.

For organizations who have planned carefully for a security breach, the formal post-attack response procedure promoted by Global Information Assurance Certification is Progent's preferred method of responding to a serious security penetration.

Overview of Security Expertise
Managing data security and staying ready for restoring critical data and systems after a security breach demands an on-going program involving an array of technologies and procedures. Progent's security consultants can support your business at any level in your efforts to secure your IT network, ranging from security evaluation to designing a complete security strategy. Key areas supported by Progent's security consultants include Planning and Implementation, Information Restoration and Security Failure Analysis, and Managed Protection from Email-Based Attacks.

Planning and Implementing Protected Environments
Every business should have a carefully thought out security strategy that includes both preventive and responsive steps. The proactive plan is a set of precautions that helps to minimize vulnerabilities. The post-attack plan specifies activities to help IT personnel to evaluate the losses caused by a breach, remediate the damage, record the event, and revive business functions as soon as possible. Progent can advise you how to design protection into your company operations. Progent can install auditing software, define and execute a safe network infrastructure, and propose procedures and policies that will enhance the safety of your network. Progent's security experts are available to assist you to set up a firewall, design secure offsite connectivity to e-mail and data, and configure an efficient virtual private network.
