Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist you to locate and isolate breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
