Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Boise
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without disrupting the processes required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Boise organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on data restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
