Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Charlotte
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Charlotte business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
