Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Baton Rouge
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding the processes required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Baton Rouge organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other important activities such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the teams focused on file cleanup and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
