Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without impeding activity required for business resumption and data recovery. Your Recife organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to combat future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in security policies or work habits that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational resumption are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires close interaction with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware threat actor. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to protect your backups.
• Copy forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as quickly as possible
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
