Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Aurora
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Aurora business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
