Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and late at night, when support staff may take longer to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can manage inside a target's network, the more time it takes to recover basic IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help you to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
