Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support staff may be slower to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to manage inside a target's system, the longer it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help organizations to carry out the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can help you to identify and isolate breached servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
