Ransomware forensics analysis involves determining and documenting the ransomware assault's storyline across the network from beginning to end. This audit trail of how a ransomware assault travelled within the network assists you to evaluate the damage and highlights shortcomings in rules or work habits that should be rectified to avoid future breaches. Forensic analysis is usually given a top priority by the cyber insurance provider and is typically required by state and industry regulations. Because forensics can be time consuming, it is essential that other key recovery processes such as business resumption are pursued in parallel. Progent maintains an extensive team of IT and data security professionals with the skills required to carry out the work of containment, operational resumption, and data restoration without interfering with forensics.

Ransomware forensics is time consuming and calls for intimate interaction with the teams responsible for data cleanup and, if necessary, payment discussions with the ransomware adversary. forensics can require the examination of logs, registry, Group Policy Object, AD, DNS servers, routers, firewalls, schedulers, and core Windows systems to check for changes.

Activities associated with forensics investigation include:

• Disconnect without shutting down all possibly impacted devices from the network. This can involve closing all RDP ports and Internet facing network-attached storage, modifying admin credentials and user PWs, and implementing 2FA to protect backups.
• Create forensically valid duplicates of all suspect devices so your file recovery team can get started
• Preserve firewall, VPN, and other critical logs as soon as feasible
• Establish the version of ransomware involved in the attack
• Examine each machine and storage device on the network including cloud storage for indications of encryption
• Catalog all encrypted devices
• Determine the type of ransomware involved in the assault
• Review logs and user sessions in order to determine the timeline of the attack and to identify any possible lateral migration from the originally infected system
• Understand the security gaps exploited to carry out the ransomware attack
• Look for the creation of executables associated with the original encrypted files or system breach
• Parse Outlook PST files
• Examine attachments
• Separate any URLs from messages and check to see if they are malware
• Provide extensive attack documentation to satisfy your insurance carrier and compliance requirements
• Suggest recommended improvements to close cybersecurity gaps and improve processes that reduce the risk of a future ransomware breach
