Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may be slower to become aware of a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral progress ransomware is able to manage inside a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover core IT services and damaged files and the more data can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to carry out the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can help you to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean assets from being penetrated. If your network has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
