Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Lawrence
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Lawrence organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers weaknesses in policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned 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 important activities like business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to data restoration and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
