Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff may take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore core 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 help organizations to carry out the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your system 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.
