Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff may be slower to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
