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 support staff are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are least able to organize a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware can manage inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help organizations to carry out the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist you to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect clean resources from being penetrated. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
