Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make inside a victim's system, the longer it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
