Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Bristol
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Bristol organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights gaps in rules or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities like business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential 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 network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
