Your Spartanburg organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
