Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are commonly launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may be slower to recognize a break-in and are less able to mount a quick and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage within a victim's system, the more time it will require to restore 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 you to take the time-critical first phase in responding to a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can assist businesses to identify and isolate infected servers and endpoints and guard undamaged assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
