Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff may be slower to become aware of a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's network, the more time it will require to recover core operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to complete the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. 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.
