Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Springfield
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Springfield organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
