Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Charleston
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics investigation without impeding activity related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Charleston business can use Progent's forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
