Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Baton Rouge
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Baton Rouge business can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
