Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Brisbane
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Brisbane organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities like business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
