Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage inside a victim's system, the more time it will require to restore core 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 take the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your network 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.

We've Been Hacked: What Can We Do?
If your business is currently faced with a security emergency other than ransomware, refer to Progent's Urgent Remote Network Support to find out how to receive immediate aid.

Managing network security as well as planning for recovering vital information and systems after an attack requires a continual effort involving an array of tools and procedures.

Key technologies covered by Progent's security engineers include Security Planning and Implementation, Data Recovery and Security Failure Analysis, and Managed Protection from Email-Based Threats.

Planning and Implementing Protected Environments
Any company should develop a thoroughly thought out security strategy that includes both proactive and reactive activity. The pre-attack strategy is a collection of steps that works to reduce security gaps. The reactive strategy defines activities to assist IT staff to assess the damage caused by an attack, repair the damage, document the event, and restore business functions as quickly as feasible. Progent can advise you how to design protection into your business operations. Progent can install scanning software, define and implement a safe IT architecture, and recommend processes and policies to maximize the protection of your information system. Progent's security experts are ready to help you to configure a firewall, deploy protected online and mobile access to e-mail and data, and install an efficient virtual private network (VPN).
