Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Hialeah organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in rules or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities like operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams focused on data restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
