Ransomware forensics investigation is aimed at determining and documenting the ransomware assault's progress across the network from beginning to end. This history of how a ransomware attack progressed through the network helps your IT staff to evaluate the impact and uncovers gaps in security policies or processes that need to be corrected to prevent future breaches. Forensics is typically given a high priority by the insurance provider and is typically mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensic analysis can take time, it is vital that other key activities like business resumption are executed in parallel. Progent has an extensive roster of IT and cybersecurity professionals with the knowledge and experience needed to perform activities for containment, business continuity, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics analysis is arduous and calls for intimate interaction with the teams focused on file cleanup and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware attacker. forensics typically require the review of all logs, registry, Group Policy Object (GPO), Active Directory (AD), DNS, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to detect anomalies.

Services associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the system. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet connected network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and setting up two-factor authentication to guard backups.
• Capture forensically complete duplicates of all suspect devices so the data recovery team can get started
• Save firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as quickly as feasible
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Inspect every computer and data store on the network as well as cloud storage for signs of compromise
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the kind of ransomware used in the assault
• Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the attack and to spot any potential lateral movement from the first infected machine
• Identify the attack vectors exploited to carry out the ransomware assault
• Search for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook web archives
• Analyze email attachments
• Separate URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
• Produce comprehensive incident documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
• List recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve processes that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware breach
