Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Norfolk
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Norfolk business can use Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close cooperation with the groups focused on data restoration and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Create forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
