Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a break-in and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make inside a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover core operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and quarantine breached devices and guard undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
