Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Anaheim
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Anaheim organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key activities such as business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
