Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Panama City
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting activity required for operational resumption and data recovery. Your Panama City organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as business continuity are performed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams responsible for file restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect backups.
• Create forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance requirements
• List recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
