Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Spartanburg
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Spartanburg organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly 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 key recovery processes like operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups focused on file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
