Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT staff may take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage within a target's network, the longer it will require to recover basic IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help organizations to carry out the time-critical first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
