Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Vacaville
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down activity related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Vacaville business can utilize Progent's forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires close cooperation with the groups responsible for data restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
