Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Baton Rouge
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Baton Rouge organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the data restoration group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
