Ransomware forensics investigation involves discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline throughout the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault progressed through the network assists you to evaluate the damage and brings to light vulnerabilities in security policies or processes that should be rectified to avoid later breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is critical that other important activities like operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and security professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to carry out activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if necessary, settlement discussions with the ransomware hacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to look for variations.

Services involved with forensics analysis include:

• Isolate without shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This may require closing all RDP ports and Internet connected NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user passwords, and implementing two-factor authentication to secure backups.
• Preserve forensically sound images of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, virtual private network, and additional critical logs as soon as possible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each computer and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for indications of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Study log activity and sessions in order to determine the time frame of the ransomware attack and to identify any possible lateral movement from the originally compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for new executables associated with the first encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and determine whether they are malware
• Provide detailed attack reporting to satisfy your insurance and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to close security gaps and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
