Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Harrisburg business can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
