Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Chandler
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Chandler business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on data recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
