Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Lawrence
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Lawrence business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams focused on data cleanup and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to establish the time frame of the attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first infected system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
