Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Savannah
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics analysis without interfering with activity required for business continuity and data recovery. Your Savannah organization can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics report to combat future ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and comply with insurance and regulatory mandates.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at determining and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights gaps in rules or processes that should be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other key activities such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Create forensically complete images of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
