Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to be slower to recognize a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a target's system, the more time it will require to recover 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 carry out the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and isolate infected devices and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
