Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network assists you to assess the damage and uncovers gaps in rules or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities such as business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is arduous and calls for intimate interaction with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey every computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review log activity and sessions in order to establish the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the first compromised system
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
