Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists you to assess the damage and highlights weaknesses in security policies or processes that should be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is commonly given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important activities like business resumption are performed concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of IT and cybersecurity experts with the skills needed to carry out activities for containment, business continuity, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and requires close cooperation with the teams responsible for file recovery and, if needed, settlement talks with the ransomware hacker. forensics can involve the review of logs, registry, GPO, Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to detect changes.

Activities associated with forensics analysis include:

• Detach without shutting off all potentially impacted devices from the system. This can require closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Copy forensically valid images of all exposed devices so your file recovery group can proceed
• Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as feasible
• Identify the strain of ransomware used in the attack
• Examine every computer and storage device on the network as well as cloud-hosted storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all compromised devices
• Establish the kind of ransomware involved in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the ransomware assault and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables surrounding the first encrypted files or system compromise
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Examine attachments
• Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine if they are malicious
• Produce extensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommendations to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce processes that lower the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
