Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Lakeland
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Lakeland organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the impact and highlights gaps in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close interaction with the teams focused on file recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
