Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Sarasota
Progent's ransomware forensics consultants can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a detailed forensics analysis without interfering with the processes related to operational resumption and data recovery. Your Sarasota organization can utilize Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to counter future ransomware assaults, assist in the restoration of encrypted data, and meet insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent has an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Services associated with forensics include:

• Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Create forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and storage device on the system including cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the assault and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Identify the security gaps exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
