Progent's Ransomware Forensics and Reporting in Barueri-Alphaville
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the evidence of a ransomware assault and carry out a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down activity related to business continuity and data recovery. Your Barueri-Alphaville organization can utilize Progent's post-attack forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the restoration of encrypted data, and comply with insurance and governmental requirements.
Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the damage and highlights weaknesses in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.
Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.
Services associated with forensics analysis include:
- Detach but avoid shutting off all possibly affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure backups.
- Copy forensically valid duplicates of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can proceed
- Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
- Identify the kind of ransomware used in the attack
- Examine every machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
- Inventory all encrypted devices
- Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
- Study logs and sessions to establish the time frame of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential sideways migration from the originally compromised machine
- Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
- Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Examine email attachments
- Extract any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
- Provide comprehensive attack reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
- Document recommended improvements to close security gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
