Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in San Antonio
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business continuity and data restoration. Your San Antonio business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes like business continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for close cooperation with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically involve the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the version of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
