Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way across a target network. For this reason, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and at night, when IT personnel may take longer to recognize a break-in and are least able to organize a rapid and coordinated response. The more lateral progress ransomware can make inside a victim's network, the longer it will require to restore core IT services and damaged files and the more information can be stolen and posted to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by containing the malware. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to locate and quarantine breached devices and protect undamaged assets from being compromised. If your network has been breached by any version of ransomware, don't panic. Get help quickly by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
