Your São José dos Campos business can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires close interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect your backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the data restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
