Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to mount a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected devices and protect clean assets from being compromised.
