Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help organizations to take the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can help you to identify and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
