Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Perth
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without slowing down the processes related to business resumption and data restoration. Your Perth organization can use Progent's forensics report to counter future ransomware attacks, assist in the cleanup of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of IT and data security experts with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey every computer and storage device on the system including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to close security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
