Ransomware forensics investigation involves determining and describing the ransomware attack's progress throughout the network from start to finish. This history of the way a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps you to evaluate the impact and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or processes that need to be rectified to prevent later breaches. Forensic analysis is usually assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other important activities such as business continuity are executed concurrently. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and security experts with the skills needed to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics analysis is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the groups focused on file recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics can require the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect variations.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing 2FA to secure backups.
• Create forensically sound digital images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the network including cloud-hosted storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible sideways migration from the first infected system
• Understand the security gaps used to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Produce detailed incident reporting to meet your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
