Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Carlsbad
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with activity related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Carlsbad business can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for data recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
