Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This history of the way a ransomware attack travelled within the network assists you to assess the impact and brings to light gaps in rules or processes that need to be rectified to avoid future break-ins. Forensic analysis is typically assigned a top priority by the insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is essential that other key activities like operational resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for close interaction with the groups assigned to data restoration and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics analysis include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so the file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the strain of ransomware used in the assault
• Examine each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommended improvements to shore up cybersecurity gaps and enforce workflows that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
