Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's system, the longer it takes to restore basic IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected devices and guard clean resources from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
