Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are less able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage inside a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist you to complete the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged assets from being compromised. If your system has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
