Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve inside a target's network, the longer it will require to recover basic IT services and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist you to take the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and isolate breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
