Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a penetration and are less able to mount a quick and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve inside a target's system, the longer it will require to restore core 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 complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being penetrated.
