Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Uberlândia organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Create forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
