Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Cambridge
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Cambridge organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
