Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to recognize a breach and are less able to organize a rapid and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can make within a victim's network, the longer it takes to restore core operations 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 responding to a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help businesses to locate and isolate infected devices and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your system has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
