Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Brooklyn
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Brooklyn business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental mandates.
Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and uncovers gaps in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.
Activities involved with forensics analysis include:
- Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect backups.
- Preserve forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
- Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Determine the version of ransomware involved in the attack
- Examine every machine and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
- Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected system
- Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
- Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Examine email attachments
- Extract URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
- Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
