Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Tampa
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Tampa business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities like operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• 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 check to see if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
