Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Eugene
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Eugene organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light gaps in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid 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 configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
