Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make inside a victim's network, the longer it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to take the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist you to locate and quarantine infected devices and protect clean resources from being penetrated.
