Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make within a victim's system, the longer it takes to restore core operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist you to locate and isolate breached devices and protect undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
