Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Manchester business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and uncovers gaps in security policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data recovery and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure your backups.
• Create forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected system
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
