Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting Services in Santiago
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational resumption and data restoration. Your Santiago organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to block future ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.
Ransomware forensics is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as operational resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for changes.
Activities associated with forensics investigation include:
- Detach without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to secure backups.
- Create forensically sound images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can get started
- Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as feasible
- Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
- Examine every computer and data store on the system including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all compromised devices
- Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
- Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the assault and to identify any possible sideways movement from the originally compromised machine
- Understand the attack vectors used to perpetrate the ransomware assault
- Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Analyze email attachments
- Separate URLs from email messages and determine whether they are malicious
- Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance requirements
- Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
