Progent's Ransomware Forensics Investigation and Reporting in Fort Lauderdale
Progent's ransomware forensics experts can capture the system state after a ransomware attack and carry out a comprehensive forensics investigation without interfering with activity required for operational continuity and data restoration. Your Fort Lauderdale business can utilize Progent's post-attack ransomware forensics documentation to counter subsequent ransomware attacks, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance and regulatory reporting requirements.

Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in rules or work habits that need to be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is critical that other key recovery processes such as operational continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to detect changes.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all potentially affected devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your file restoration team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to close cybersecurity vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
