Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in El Paso
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without disrupting the processes related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your El Paso organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in rules or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other important recovery processes like business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and requires close cooperation with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so the data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
