Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Curitiba
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Curitiba organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close interaction with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
