Ransomware forensics involves discovering and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware assault travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and brings to light shortcomings in rules or work habits that need to be rectified to prevent future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Since forensic analysis can take time, it is essential that other important activities such as business resumption are performed in parallel. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and cybersecurity experts with the skills required to perform the work of containment, business resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensics.

Ransomware forensics investigation is time consuming and calls for close cooperation with the groups focused on file cleanup and, if needed, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics typically require the examination of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object, Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Services associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach but avoid shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all RDP ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing two-factor authentication to protect backups.
• Create forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your data restoration group can proceed
• Save firewall, virtual private network, and other key logs as soon as feasible
• Determine the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Inspect each computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of encryption
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to establish the time frame of the attack and to spot any possible sideways movement from the originally infected system
• Understand the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for new executables surrounding the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide extensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to close cybersecurity gaps and improve workflows that lower the risk of a future ransomware breach
