Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Adelaide
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Adelaide organization can use Progent's forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires close interaction with the teams assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all exposed devices so the file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
