Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Lawrence
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding the processes related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Lawrence organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and uncovers gaps in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups focused on file restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
