Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to mount a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's network, the more time it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. 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.
