Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected devices and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated.
