Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Lima business can use Progent's forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.
Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.
Services associated with forensics investigation include:
- Isolate without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
- Copy forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can get started
- Preserve firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Determine the version of ransomware used in the assault
- Survey every computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
- Catalog all compromised devices
- Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised machine
- Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
- Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine attachments
- Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
- Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
