Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff may be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make inside a victim's network, the longer it takes to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted 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 putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can help you to locate and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
