Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve within a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to take the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
