Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Fresno
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Fresno organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
