Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make within a target's system, the more time it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to complete the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
