Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in São Paulo
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without impeding activity related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your São Paulo business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory mandates.
Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and uncovers weaknesses in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.
Services associated with forensics include:
- Disconnect without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to protect backups.
- Create forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can get started
- Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Establish the variety of ransomware used in the attack
- Examine each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
- Study log activity and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
- Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
- Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Analyze email attachments
- Extract any URLs embedded in messages and check to see whether they are malware
- Produce extensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- List recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
