Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

- Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
