Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Curitiba
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without impeding activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Curitiba organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.
Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights gaps in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor. forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.
Activities associated with forensics analysis include:
- Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to guard backups.
- Create forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can get started
- Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Identify the version of ransomware used in the attack
- Inspect each computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
- Study log activity and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first infected machine
- Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
- Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Examine email attachments
- Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
- Provide extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
- Document recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
