Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically unleashed on weekends and late at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a breach and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage inside a target's system, the longer it will require to restore core IT services and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist organizations to complete the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware assault by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to identify and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
