Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Denver
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting the processes required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Denver organization can use Progent's forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to data recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
