Progent's Ransomware Forensics Analysis and Reporting in Miami
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can save the system state after a ransomware assault and perform a detailed forensics analysis without slowing down activity related to operational continuity and data recovery. Your Miami organization can use Progent's post-attack forensics report to combat future ransomware assaults, validate the cleanup of encrypted data, and meet insurance and governmental requirements.

Ransomware forensics involves discovering and describing the ransomware assault's progress across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled within the network helps you to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities like operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of information technology and security professionals with the skills required to perform the work of containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for intimate interaction with the groups responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the variety of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up security gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
