Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are commonly unleashed on weekends and at night, when support staff may take longer to become aware of a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response.

Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the urgent first steps in mitigating a ransomware assault by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware experts can help businesses to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being compromised.
