Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Bakersfield
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Bakersfield business can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes like operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid digital images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
