Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Durham
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Durham organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware Threat Actor (TA). forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all exposed devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted 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 assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps 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
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
