Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support staff may be slower to become aware of a penetration and are least able to mount a quick and forceful response. The more lateral progress ransomware can make within a target's network, the more time it takes to restore basic IT services and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist organizations to complete the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and isolate breached devices and protect clean assets from being compromised. If your system 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.
