Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Detroit
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Detroit organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and calls for close interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
