Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may take longer to recognize a breach and are least able to mount a quick and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware can achieve inside a target's network, the longer it takes to restore basic 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 help you to carry out the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated.
