Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Lakeland organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each computer and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
