Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically unleashed on weekends and at night, when IT staff are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to mount a quick and coordinated defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to manage inside a target's network, the more time it will require to recover core IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to help you to take the urgent first steps in responding to a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist you to locate and isolate infected devices and protect clean assets from being penetrated. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, act fast. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
