Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff are likely to take longer to recognize a break-in and are less able to organize a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve inside a target's network, the longer it takes to recover basic operations and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to guide organizations to complete the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can assist you to locate and isolate infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised.
