Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Brasília
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Brasília organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and uncovers weaknesses in rules or processes that should be corrected to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as operational continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups focused on data recovery and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the variety of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
