Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide you to carry out the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help businesses to identify and isolate infected devices and guard clean assets from being penetrated.
