Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down the processes related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Belo Horizonte organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities like business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams responsible for file cleanup and, if needed, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
