Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Anaheim
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Anaheim business can utilize Progent's forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key activities like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
