Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Huntington Beach
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Huntington Beach organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential lateral movement from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide detailed incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
