Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in Portland
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Portland business can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and requires intimate interaction with the teams assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to guard your backups.
• Copy forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
