Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when support personnel may take longer to become aware of a penetration and are least able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a victim's network, the longer it will require to recover basic operations and scrambled files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses to locate and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated. 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.
