Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to complete the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard clean assets from being compromised.
