Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Anaheim
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Anaheim organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
