Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Savannah
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Savannah organization can use Progent's forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers gaps in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities like operational resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
