Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Broomfield
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Broomfield business can use Progent's forensics report to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so your data restoration group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
