Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Cambridge
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Cambridge organization can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other key activities such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Capture forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce detailed incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
