Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated defense.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean assets from being compromised.
