Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff may take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's network, the longer it will require to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to complete the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine infected devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been breached by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
We've Been Attacked: What Do We Do?
If you are now faced with a security crisis other than ransomware, go to Progent's Urgent Online Computer Help to learn how to get fast help. Progent maintains a team of seasoned network security experts who can provide remote and on-premises support that includes containment, mitigation, recovery, forensics, and enhancement of your cybersecurity profile to guard against future exploits.
For organizations that have planned carefully for being hacked, the step-by-step post-attack handling procedure promoted by Global Information Assurance Certification is Progent's approved method of handling a major security attack.
Introduction to Security Expertise
Managing data security plus preparedness for restoring critical information and functions after a security breach requires an on-going effort that entails an array of technologies and processes. Progent's security consultants can assist your organization at all levels in your attempt to guard your IT network, ranging from security assessments to designing a comprehensive security strategy. Some areas covered by Progent's experts include Security Planning and Prevention, Data Recovery and Security Failure Analysis, and Managed Protection from Email-Based Attacks.
Designing and Implementing Secure Environments
Any business should develop a thoroughly considered security plan that incorporates both preventive and reactive steps. The pre-attack plan is a collection of steps that works to reduce security gaps. The reactive plan specifies procedures to help security personnel to evaluate the damage caused by an attack, repair the damage, record the event, and revive business functions as quickly as possible. Progent can advise you how to design security into your business operations. Progent can install auditing utilities, define and implement a secure network architecture, and recommend procedures and policies that will maximize the protection of your computing environment. Progent's security professionals are available to help you to configure a firewall, deploy secure remote connectivity to e-mail and data, and install an effective virtual private network.
If your company is looking for an economical option for jobbing out your security management, Progent's 24x7 Network Support Options feature automated online network tracking and quick resolution of problems.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions
Progent can help your company you to design, implement, manage and repair enterprise hybrid cloud solutions that incorporate physical and cloud hosted resources and that comply with government security requirements.

System Recovery and Failure Analysis
Progent offers skill in restoring systems and servers that have been hacked, are quarantined, or have ceased to function because of a security breakdown. Progent can help determine the losses resulting from the assault, return your company to normal functions, and recover data compromised as a result of the event. Progent's security specialists can also perform a comprehensive failure analysis by examining activity logs and using other advanced assessment techniques. Progent's experience with security problems reduces your business disruption and permits Progent to suggest efficient ways to avoid or contain new assaults.

This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and calls for judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of telecommuter solutions consultants can help your business to design, configure and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information assets in networks that incorporate remote workers as well as hybrid workers.

A wide range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple verification devices. For more information about ProSight Duo two-factor identity authentication services, refer to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
