Ransomware forensics is aimed at discovering and describing the ransomware assault's storyline across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of the way a ransomware assault progressed within the network assists your IT staff to evaluate the impact and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to avoid later break-ins. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent maintains a large team of information technology and data security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams responsible for data restoration and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for anomalies.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting down all possibly suspect devices from the system. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Copy forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your file restoration group can get started
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other critical logs as soon as possible
• Identify the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine every machine and data store on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review log activity and sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close security gaps and enforce workflows that reduce the risk of a future ransomware exploit
