Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Cambridge
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Cambridge business can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to data recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
