Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Omaha
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting the processes related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Omaha organization can use Progent's forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and uncovers shortcomings in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file restoration and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to guard your backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first infected system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
