Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can save the system state after a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without disrupting the processes required for business resumption and data restoration. Your Saddle Brook business can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, validate the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves tracking and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is typically assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other key activities such as business resumption are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and requires close interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Copy forensically complete digital images of all exposed devices so the file restoration team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study logs and sessions to establish the timeline of the assault and to spot any possible lateral movement from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and enforce processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
