Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for business continuity and data restoration.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data recovery and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
