Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Cabo Frio
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for business continuity and data restoration. Your Cabo Frio business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental requirements.
Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.
Services associated with forensics investigation include:
- Isolate without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
- Preserve forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
- Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Survey every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
- Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the first infected machine
- Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
- Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Analyze email attachments
- Extract any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
- Provide comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
- Document recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
