Your Lima business can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other key activities like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the skills required to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires close cooperation with the teams assigned to data cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file restoration group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any potential lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
