Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Birmingham
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Birmingham organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires close interaction with the teams focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all exposed devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
