Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve inside a victim's system, the more time it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to complete the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
