Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to become aware of a break-in and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage within a target's network, the longer it will require to recover basic operations 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 complete the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist businesses to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and guard clean assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
