Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Bristol
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Bristol business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light gaps in security policies or processes that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other key activities like operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Copy forensically valid digital images of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
