Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Fort Wayne
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting activity related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Fort Wayne business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
