Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a penetration and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to achieve inside a victim'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 designed to assist you to take the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
