Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without impeding activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Birmingham business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
