Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Miami Beach
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Miami Beach organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network helps you to assess the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and calls for close cooperation with the groups assigned to file restoration and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to spot any potential sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
