Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Lakeland business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to data recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
