Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Barueri-Alphaville organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
