Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can make within a victim's system, the longer it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
