Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a break-in and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's network, the more time it will require to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help organizations to carry out the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
