Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in San Juan
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without disrupting activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your San Juan business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Create forensically valid images of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
