Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Sydney business can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.
Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is typically assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to data recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.
Services involved with forensics analysis include:
- Isolate without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect backups.
- Capture forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can proceed
- Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as possible
- Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
- Inspect each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
- Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first compromised machine
- Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
- Look for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Analyze email attachments
- Separate URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
- Provide extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
