Your Tulsa organization can use Progent's ransomware forensics report to counter subsequent ransomware assaults, assist in the recovery of lost data, and meet insurance carrier and governmental reporting requirements.
Ransomware forensics involves tracking and documenting the ransomware attack's progress across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware attack travelled through the network assists your IT staff to assess the impact and highlights gaps in rules or processes that should be rectified to avoid later break-ins. Forensics is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is often mandated by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can take time, it is essential that other important recovery processes like operational continuity are performed concurrently. Progent has a large roster of IT and data security experts with the knowledge and experience required to perform activities for containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without disrupting forensics.
Ransomware forensics investigation is complicated and calls for close cooperation with the groups assigned to file recovery and, if necessary, payment negotiation with the ransomware adversary. forensics can involve the examination of logs, registry, GPO, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, scheduled tasks, and core Windows systems to look for anomalies.
Activities associated with forensics analysis include:
- Detach but avoid shutting off all potentially affected devices from the network. This can involve closing all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ports and Internet facing NAS storage, changing admin credentials and user PWs, and configuring 2FA to guard your backups.
- Create forensically sound duplicates of all suspect devices so your file recovery group can proceed
- Save firewall, VPN, and additional key logs as soon as possible
- Determine the variety of ransomware involved in the assault
- Inspect each computer and data store on the system including cloud storage for signs of encryption
- Catalog all encrypted devices
- Establish the kind of ransomware used in the attack
- Review log activity and user sessions to establish the timeline of the ransomware assault and to identify any potential lateral migration from the first compromised machine
- Understand the attack vectors exploited to perpetrate the ransomware attack
- Search for the creation of executables associated with the first encrypted files or network compromise
- Parse Outlook PST files
- Examine email attachments
- Extract any URLs embedded in email messages and determine whether they are malware
- Provide detailed attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance regulations
- Document recommendations to shore up security gaps and improve workflows that reduce the exposure to a future ransomware exploit
