Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Guadalajara
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity required for business continuity and data restoration. Your Guadalajara organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light weaknesses in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
