Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in São Paulo
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for business continuity and data restoration. Your São Paulo organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key activities such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
