Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Bellevue
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without interfering with activity required for business continuity and data restoration. Your Bellevue business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and uncovers shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires close cooperation with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
