Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware assault progressed within the network helps you to assess the damage and uncovers shortcomings in rules or processes that should be rectified to prevent later break-ins. Forensics is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities such as operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and requires close cooperation with the groups assigned to file cleanup and, if necessary, settlement talks with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of all logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all potentially suspect devices from the system. This may require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard your backups.
• Capture forensically sound duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Survey each machine and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware assault and to spot any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Document recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
