Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes related to business resumption and data recovery. Your Liverpool organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and brings to light gaps in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is critical that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
