Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Beverly Hills
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Beverly Hills organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and uncovers weaknesses in rules or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the teams focused on data recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
