Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Chandler
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting activity required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Chandler business can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires close cooperation with the groups assigned to data cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
