Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without interfering with activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Detroit organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
