Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way across a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when IT personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a quick and coordinated response. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage within a victim's system, the longer it will require to restore 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 guide you to complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and isolate breached devices 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.
