Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Porto Alegre
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Porto Alegre organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.
Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and uncovers shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and data security experts with the skills needed to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams focused on file cleanup and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.
Activities involved with forensics analysis include:
- Isolate without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
- Capture forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so the data restoration group can proceed
- Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
- Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
- Inspect every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
- Study logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally compromised system
- Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
- Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Analyze email attachments
- Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malware
- Provide detailed incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
