Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a target's network, the longer it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can help you to locate and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
