Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Niterói
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Niterói organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers gaps in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams assigned to data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
