Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Rancho Cordova
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Rancho Cordova business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key activities like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
