Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Brisbane
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Brisbane business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
