Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Cheyenne
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Cheyenne organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important activities such as business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
