Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Naples business can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or processes that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires close interaction with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
