Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and coordinated response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist organizations to carry out the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by stopping the bleeding. Progent's online ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect undamaged resources from being compromised.
