Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim's system, 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 assist organizations to carry out the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate infected devices and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
