Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting Services in Philadelphia
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Philadelphia business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to block future ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important recovery processes like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file restoration and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
