Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you 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, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
