Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Lubbock business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to block subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to assess the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
