Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware requires time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware attacks are typically launched on weekends and late at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are least able to organize a rapid and forceful defense. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to make within a target's network, the more time it takes to restore core operations and damaged files and the more data can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to assist you to carry out the urgent first phase in mitigating a ransomware attack by stopping the bleeding. Progent's remote ransomware engineers can assist businesses to identify 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 immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
