Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Tampa
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Tampa business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
