Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Porto Alegre business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
