Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful defense.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean resources from being compromised.
