Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Lubbock
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without disrupting the processes related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Lubbock organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
