Ransomware forensics analysis involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware assault travelled within the network helps you to evaluate the impact and brings to light shortcomings in security policies or processes that should be corrected to avoid later breaches. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a high priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent has a large roster of information technology and security professionals with the skills needed to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file restoration and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware threat actor. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for variations.

Services involved with forensics investigation include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Preserve forensically complete images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and other key logs as quickly as feasible
• Establish the variety of ransomware involved in the attack
• Survey every computer and data store on the network including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first compromised machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the original encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Separate any URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed attack documentation to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that lower the risk of a future ransomware exploit
