Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a break-in and are least able to mount a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage inside a target's network, the more time it will require to restore core IT services and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist organizations to carry out the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist you to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
