Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may take longer to become aware of a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a target's network, the longer it will require to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate breached devices and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
