Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Jersey City
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Jersey City business can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key activities like operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and calls for close cooperation with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally infected 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 network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
