Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Brighton
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Brighton business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Create forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
