Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve inside a target's system, the more time it will require to restore 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 guide you to take the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist you to identify and isolate infected devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your system 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.
