Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way across a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve inside a target's network, the longer it takes to restore core operations and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and isolate infected devices and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your system 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.
