Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Jersey City
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting the processes required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Jersey City organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to file restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the time frame of the attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
