Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to carry out the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to identify and quarantine breached devices and protect clean assets from being penetrated.
