Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make within a target's network, the longer it will require to recover 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 designed to guide you to carry out the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine infected devices and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
