Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Hialeah organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light gaps in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted 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 configuring two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
