Progent's ransomware forensics experts can preserve the evidence of a ransomware attack and perform a comprehensive forensics investigation without disrupting activity related to operational continuity and data restoration. Your Midtown Manhattan organization can utilize Progent's forensics documentation to block subsequent ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and comply with insurance carrier and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights shortcomings in policies or work habits that should be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities such as business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, operational continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is complicated and requires intimate interaction with the teams focused on data restoration and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the review of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate but avoid shutting down all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up 2FA to protect your backups.
• Capture forensically valid images of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every machine and data store on the system as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
