Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Chandler
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with activity related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Chandler organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the impact and highlights gaps in policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
