Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Incident Reporting
Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Manhattan Beach
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Manhattan Beach organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.
Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large team of information technology and security experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.
Services involved with forensics include:
- Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
- Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so the file restoration team can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as possible
- Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Examine each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
- Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally infected system
- Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
- Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine email attachments
- Extract URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
- Produce extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
- Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
