Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Waltham
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with the processes related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Waltham organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other important activities such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
