Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a break-in and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to carry out the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and guard clean assets from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
