Your Napa organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.
Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key activities such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.
Services involved with forensics investigation include:
- Disconnect without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
- Copy forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data recovery team can get started
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
- Establish the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
- Survey each machine and data store on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
- Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the originally infected machine
- Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
- Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook web archives
- Examine email attachments
- Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
- Provide detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
- Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
