Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Glendale organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights gaps in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and security experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
