Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Stamford business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close interaction with the teams focused on file recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. 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.
• Capture forensically valid images of all exposed devices so the file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
