Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's storyline across the network from start to finish. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed within the network helps your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light gaps in security policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is usually given a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often required by state and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and security professionals with the skills required to carry out activities for containment, business resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the teams focused on data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to look for changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect every machine and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally compromised machine
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Separate URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malicious
• Produce extensive incident documentation to meet your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• Document recommendations to close security gaps and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware breach
