Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
