Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Honolulu organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey every machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
