Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Memphis organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires intimate interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
