Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in San Jose
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your San Jose business can use Progent's forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light shortcomings in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other important activities like business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires close cooperation with the groups focused on file recovery and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Capture forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
