Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Lubbock
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without interfering with the processes required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Lubbock business can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
