Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to steal its way through a target network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel are likely to be slower to recognize a breach and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve within a target's network, the longer it will require to restore core operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide organizations to take the urgent first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to locate and quarantine breached servers and endpoints and protect undamaged resources from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
