Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Buffalo
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Buffalo organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers shortcomings in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key activities like operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
