Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Sherman Oaks
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Sherman Oaks business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the groups assigned to data recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Copy forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
