Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at discovering and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack progressed within the network assists your IT staff to assess the damage and highlights gaps in policies or work habits that need to be corrected to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is typically given a top priority by the cyber insurance carrier and is typically required by government and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can be time consuming, it is vital that other key activities such as business continuity are executed in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive roster of information technology and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without interfering with forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complex and calls for intimate cooperation with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, settlement negotiation with the ransomware attacker. Ransomware forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for anomalies.

Activities involved with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect but avoid shutting down all potentially impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and setting up 2FA to secure your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete duplicates of all exposed devices so your data recovery group can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other key logs as soon as possible
• Determine the kind of ransomware involved in the assault
• Survey each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Inventory all encrypted devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Study logs and user sessions in order to establish the timeline of the ransomware attack and to spot any potential sideways movement from the first compromised system
• Identify the attack vectors used to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine email attachments
• Extract any URLs from email messages and check to see whether they are malware
• Produce extensive attack reporting to meet your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• Suggest recommendations to close security vulnerabilities and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
