Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage inside a target's network, the longer it takes to restore core IT services 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 take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and isolate breached devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
