Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Naples organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important activities such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams focused on file restoration and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
