Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Aurora
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Aurora organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in rules or processes that should be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams focused on file restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine every machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
