Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to carry out the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean assets from being compromised.
