Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Florianópolis
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Florianópolis business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other key recovery processes like operational resumption are performed in parallel. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and requires close interaction with the teams focused on data restoration and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the version of ransomware involved in the assault
• Examine every computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any potential lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
