Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Miami
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Miami organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to assess the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
