Your Uniondale organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics documentation to combat subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the restoration of lost data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent future break-ins. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes such as business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and requires intimate cooperation with the groups responsible for file cleanup and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Provide detailed incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
