Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Roseville
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Roseville organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
