Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Tucson
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without impeding the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Tucson organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
