Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Boise
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Boise organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers weaknesses in security policies or processes that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other key activities such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey every machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
