Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a victim's network, the more time it takes to restore core IT services 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 organizations to carry out the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help you to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
