Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to take longer to recognize a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make within a victim's system, the longer it will require to restore 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 intended to assist you to complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and protect 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.
