Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support staff may take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make inside a victim's system, the longer it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and quarantine infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
