Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff may be slower to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to make inside a target's system, the more time it takes to restore basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to help you to carry out the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
