Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to recognize a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve within a target's network, the longer it will require to recover basic 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 assist organizations to carry out the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and protect undamaged assets from being compromised.
