Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a detailed forensics investigation without slowing down the processes required for business continuity and data restoration. Your Pasadena organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and security experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and calls for close interaction with the teams assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each machine and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
