Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to steal its way through a network. For this reason, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel may take longer to recognize a penetration and are less able to mount a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral progress ransomware can achieve within a victim's system, the longer it will require to restore basic IT services and scrambled files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is intended to assist you to complete the time-critical first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware experts can help businesses to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and protect clean resources from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
