Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Las Vegas
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without interfering with the processes required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Las Vegas organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires close interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised system
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
