Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Manhattan Beach
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Manhattan Beach organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the data restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
