Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Aurora
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Aurora business can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect each computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
