Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Denver
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Denver organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other important activities like business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for data recovery and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
