Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to carry out the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
