Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Garland
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Garland business can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light shortcomings in rules or processes that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes like operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the teams focused on file restoration and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
