Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to manage within a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to identify and isolate breached devices and protect undamaged assets from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
