Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Centennial
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Centennial organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key activities such as operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
