Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints 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.
