Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Birmingham
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding the processes required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Birmingham business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Produce extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
