Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a 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 quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make within a victim's network, the longer it will require to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to carry out the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help you to locate and quarantine breached devices and guard clean assets 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.
