Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Curitiba
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics investigation without impeding activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Curitiba organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key activities like business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically valid images of all exposed devices so the file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the version of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
