Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Detroit business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams assigned to file restoration and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Copy forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
