Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting Services in New Haven
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to business continuity and data recovery. Your New Haven organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is commonly given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is vital that other important activities like business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the groups responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the attack and to spot any possible lateral migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
