Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Valencia
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Valencia organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
