Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Bakersfield
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down the processes related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Bakersfield business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other key activities like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
