Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.
