Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's network, the more time it will require to recover basic IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to carry out the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help you to locate and isolate breached servers and endpoints and guard undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
