Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make within a target's system, the more time it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate breached devices and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
