Your Fort Myers business can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly 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 passwords, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
