Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Milwaukee
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Milwaukee organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to assess the impact and highlights weaknesses in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key recovery processes like business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and calls for intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Inspect each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
