Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Fremont
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Fremont organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
