Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your West Palm Beach organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
