Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff may be slower to recognize a breach and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve within a target's network, the longer it will require to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to complete the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
