Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Kansas City business can use Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers weaknesses in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as operational resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting down all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
