Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a quick and coordinated response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to carry out the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated.
