Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Naples
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Naples business can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights gaps in rules or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other important activities such as business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
