Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Anchorage
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Anchorage business can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light weaknesses in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams focused on file restoration and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically sound images of all exposed devices so the data restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
