Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Orlando
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with the processes required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Orlando organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like business resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires close cooperation with the teams focused on file recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure your backups.
• Copy forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the originally infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
