Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Chattanooga
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Chattanooga business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
