Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are least able to mount a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make inside a target's system, the longer it will require to restore core IT services and damaged 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 take the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate breached devices and guard clean resources from being penetrated.
