Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Carlsbad
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Carlsbad organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers gaps in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close interaction with the groups focused on data restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
