Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to business resumption and data recovery.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
