Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can make inside a target's network, the longer it will require to restore basic operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to complete the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your system 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.
