Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Ipanema business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber 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 such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
