Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a victim's system, the longer it will require to recover basic IT services and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
