Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to carry out the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network 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.
We've Been Hacked: What Should We Do Now?

Introduction to Progent's Security Services
Managing data security as well as preparedness for recovering vital information and systems following an attack demands a continual program that entails a variety of tools and procedures. Progent's certified experts can support your organization at any level in your efforts to secure your information network, from security audits to designing a complete security program. Some technologies supported by Progent's experts include Security Planning and Implementation, Data Restoration and Security Failure Analysis, and Outsourced Filtering of Email-Borne Spam and Viruses.
Designing and Building Protected Environments
Any company should develop a carefully considered security strategy that includes both proactive and reactive steps. The proactive plan is a collection of precautions that works to reduce vulnerabilities. The reactive plan defines activities to assist security staff to evaluate the losses caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the experience, and restore business functions as soon as possible. Progent can advise you how to build protection into your company operations. Progent can configure scanning software, define and execute a secure network architecture, and propose procedures and policies to enhance the protection of your network. Progent's security professionals are ready to help you to set up a firewall, deploy safe offsite access to e-mail and data, and install an efficient virtual private network.

Stealth Penetration Security Testing Services
Stealth penetration testing is a key part of any overall IT system security strategy.

Unannounced penetration testing uncovers whether existing security monitoring systems such as intrusion incident warnings and event history monitoring are correctly configured and consistently observed. Progent can implement continuous automatic penetration testing to map your internal/external attack surface and to identify ways that vulnerabilities, improper configurations, compromised credentials, uninstalled patches, and dangerous product defaults can be chained together by threat actors into the multi-front attacks typical of modern variants of ransomware.

Duo supports single-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this added form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can register several verification devices.
