Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Florianópolis
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Florianópolis business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.
Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities like operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.
Services involved with forensics investigation include:
- Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
- Capture forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can get started
- Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
- Survey each computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
- Catalog all encrypted devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Study logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first infected machine
- Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
- Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Analyze attachments
- Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
- Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
- List recommendations to close security gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
