Overview of Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Tukwila
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without impeding the processes required for operational resumption and data restoration. Your Tukwila organization can utilize Progent's forensics report to block future ransomware attacks, validate the recovery of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental mandates.

Ransomware forensics analysis is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light gaps in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key activities such as operational continuity are performed in parallel. Progent has a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complex and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics typically involve the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This may involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically valid digital images of all suspect devices so the file recovery group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
