Your Springfield business can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Create forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
