Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light weaknesses in policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and requires intimate interaction with the teams responsible for file cleanup and, if necessary, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities involved with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring 2FA to guard backups.
• Capture forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
• Identify the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey each machine and data store on the system as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware assault
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs from email messages and determine if they are malware
• Provide extensive attack reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
