Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Cheyenne
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding the processes required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Cheyenne business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities like operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and calls for intimate interaction with the groups assigned to data recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
