Ransomware Response Services in Lakeland

Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Lakeland
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes required for business continuity and data restoration. Your Lakeland business can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires close interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the version of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
