Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Boise business can utilize Progent's forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Preserve forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
