Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to carry out the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
