Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Los Angeles organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other key activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires close interaction with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
