Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Tucson
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Tucson organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for close interaction with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
