Your Detroit business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in rules or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
