Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a victim's system, the more time it takes to restore basic IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to carry out the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and isolate breached devices and guard undamaged resources from being compromised. If your system has been breached by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
