Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a target's network, the longer it takes to restore core operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist organizations to take the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
Work-from-Home Security Consulting
Work-from-Home employees commonly utilize their own computing devices and often operate in a unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to malware attacks and requires careful deployment of firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the creation of policies built on best practices.
