Your Brooklyn business can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
