Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Bellevue
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Bellevue business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key activities such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires close interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the data restoration group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
