Your Brooklyn organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each machine and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
