Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Rancho Cordova
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without impeding the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Rancho Cordova organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
