Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Memphis
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Memphis business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Capture forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to close security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
