Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Monterrey
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without impeding activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Monterrey business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.
Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes like business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires intimate cooperation with the teams assigned to data recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.
Services involved with forensics analysis include:
- Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
- Capture forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
- Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
- Examine every computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
- Review log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
- Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
- Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Analyze email attachments
- Separate URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
- Provide comprehensive incident documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
- List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
