Your Uberlândia organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.
Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in rules or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.
Services involved with forensics include:
- Isolate without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
- Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
- Determine the version of ransomware involved in the attack
- Examine every computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the originally compromised system
- Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
- Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine email attachments
- Separate any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
- Provide detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
- Document recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
