Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational resumption and data restoration.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
