Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Manchester
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Manchester business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities like business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
