Ransomware forensics involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline throughout the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in policies or processes that should be corrected to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is critical that other key activities such as business continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to carry out the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complicated and requires intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data recovery and, if needed, payment discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics typically involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for variations.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Create forensically sound digital images of all suspect devices so the data restoration team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the type of ransomware used in the assault
• Survey every machine and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and sessions to determine the time frame of the attack and to identify any potential sideways movement from the first compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Look for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• List recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
