Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated.
