Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage within a target's network, the more time it takes to restore basic IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to carry out the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
