Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Bellevue
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down the processes required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Bellevue business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and calls for close interaction with the groups assigned to data recovery and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to protect backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
