Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Downers Grove
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without slowing down activity required for operational continuity and data recovery. Your Downers Grove business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to block subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers shortcomings in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is commonly assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is arduous and requires close cooperation with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your data restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Suggest recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
