Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Dallas
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Dallas organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data recovery and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware Threat Actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each machine and data store on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
