Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Allentown
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Allentown business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for data recovery and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
