Your Spartanburg organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

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 travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
