Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Anaheim
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Anaheim business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams focused on data restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to protect backups.
• Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
