Ransomware forensics investigation involves tracking and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the targeted network from start to finish. This audit trail of the way a ransomware attack travelled through the network helps you to evaluate the damage and uncovers vulnerabilities in policies or work habits that should be corrected to prevent later breaches. Forensics is typically assigned a high priority by the insurance carrier and is often mandated by government and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is vital that other important recovery processes such as operational continuity are pursued concurrently. Progent maintains a large roster of information technology and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data recovery without disrupting forensic analysis.

Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for close interaction with the teams focused on data recovery and, if needed, payment talks with the ransomware attacker. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory, DNS, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and basic Windows systems to check for variations.

Activities associated with forensics include:

• Detach without shutting off all possibly suspect devices from the network. This may involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet connected NAS storage, modifying admin credentials and user passwords, and configuring two-factor authentication to protect your backups.
• Preserve forensically complete digital images of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can proceed
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as quickly as possible
• Identify the strain of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect each machine and storage device on the system as well as cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Inventory all compromised devices
• Establish the type of ransomware used in the attack
• Review logs and user sessions to determine the timeline of the attack and to spot any possible lateral movement from the originally infected machine
• Identify the security gaps used to carry out the ransomware attack
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or network compromise
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Analyze email attachments
• Extract URLs embedded in messages and check to see if they are malicious
• Provide comprehensive incident reporting to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance mandates
• List recommended improvements to shore up security vulnerabilities and enforce workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
