Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to become aware of a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make within a target's network, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist you to carry out the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses to identify and isolate breached devices and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. 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.

Introduction to Progent's Security Support Services
Managing network security plus preparedness for restoring critical information and functions following an attack demands an on-going effort involving an array of technologies and processes.
