Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Hartford
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Hartford business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has a large team of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams focused on file restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
