Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Indianapolis
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to business continuity and data restoration. Your Indianapolis business can use Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large team of IT and data security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups assigned to data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Provide extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
