Your San Mateo business can utilize Progent's forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has a large team of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close interaction with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to guard backups.
• Preserve forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
